Layered Fall Mantel

You may have noticed I've been a little lacking in the mantel department. After my 52 weekly mantel changes, I was pretty, how should I say? Over mantels. I'm not going to lie, I needed a mantel break. Originally, I'd planned on doing a Halloween mantel and then a Fall mantel...but, that Halloween mantel might not happen. I think I'll just enjoy looking at all the Halloween mantels in blogland instead. You don't mind, right??

But, success! I DO have a Fall mantel.

(For someone with the word "Mantel" in her blog name, does this even count as a victory??)

The deets: I used lots of my favorite small pumpkins, glass vases filled with wood pieces and a pretty wooden tray (made by a dear friend-- she should sell these, right??). And, of course, my scrappy Fall banner. Easy and earthy.

I always love everything you do, no matter how simple. I wanted to come over to your blog to leave you a comment. I have a few of those little chipboard books, not fabric covered. 2 of them are in shape of houses, a scalloped square and others are flowers so guess I'll use a house shaped one. Love shape of yours but guess I'll make do with what I have. I haven't seen those chipboard books anymore at our Michaels in Grand Junction, CO. I too have only been making Fall decorations. No more small gk's or any t-or-t's so I stay with Fall stuff. I love colors of Fall and even tho I have lots of decos already I just have to make things every year. What else could I do with myself? I need to create and with plethora of ideas on blog land I've had a hard time deciding which ones to do. Hubs keeps asking me how many more project I intend to make. He was out cutting out pumpkins, signs for me from pallet wood. I so enjoy your blog, always have since I discovered it about 2 yrs. ago. Enjoy rest of the week

Thank you so much for your sweet comment!! I haven't seen the house shaped chipboard, but it sounds cute! My Michael's still has a few chipboard albums, but maybe they're phasing them out. I'm with you on the Fall colors-- it's my favorite. I don't really love Halloween decor, if I'm honest.

Anyway, thanks so much for your sweet comment! You always make me smile. For some reason, I didn't get email notice of these comments. But, I'm glad I opened this back up and saw your message!

I am glad we get to see another of your mantel designs! You deserve a break from Manteling , it's if there is such a word! For a while- but you are so good at it!!! Enjoyed your new fall display! Take care!

This is a fabulous fall mantel!!! I LOVE every detail especially the vases with the wood pieces and pumpkins. And ya, that tray is awesome! I do think it's okay for you to take a mantel break... I think it's safe to say we won't hold it against you. ;)
